My experience with my sales guy, Jason Long was overall pretty good. Is a young man trying to learn the business. He tried to do everything he could to make my absolute worst experience be better. Although pretty good. Is a young man trying to learn the business. He tried to do everything he could to make my absolute worst experience be better. Although he doesn't have much power and changing the outcome. He tried to make the situation better by talking with me. He even had a follow up phone call. But I have to say, my overall experience was Clay Clooney was terrible. Sold me a car that had bad bearings on the front end, a busted radiator hose and completely bad coil packs. Had to pay out of pocket for new bearings on the front passenger side wheel and a complete new tune up. Almost $1,000 in repairs on a vehicle just weeks old. Clay Clooney dealership assured they would help me with any issues and told me they inspected the expedition thoroughly. That was false. They did fix the broken hose only because it busted on the way home from buying the car. More

My vehicle was immediately returned the day I bought it due to a major radiator hose busting on the highway, on my way home from the dealership. They swore the vehicle was completely inspected after the re due to a major radiator hose busting on the highway, on my way home from the dealership. They swore the vehicle was completely inspected after the repair was made. One week later I'm paying out of pocket for new wheel bearings on the front left side. Two weeks later I'm paying out of pocket for a complete tune up because the Expedition is misfiring. Both times the dealership would not do anything to help my situation. The service manager herself said the vehicle will be completely inspected THESE CARS ARE NOT INSPECTED PROPERLY. Never, will I buy another vehicle from Clay Clooney. Worse car experience ever... More

First I would like to say is bring back Austin Howell and put him in charge of the service department (IF IT AIN"T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT) instead of aka (THE DESK JOCKEY PENCIL PUSHER ALEC R). At least Mr. and put him in charge of the service department (IF IT AIN"T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT) instead of aka (THE DESK JOCKEY PENCIL PUSHER ALEC R). At least Mr. Howell is more people friendlier and very knowledgeable of FORD products. I been bring 5 different FORD vehicles to this service department since 1992! Another person you should take care of is service technician Chris James, also very knowledgeable (AT LEAST HE OWNS A FORD). So who every is reading this sends it to the right people to get there xxxx together and get ride of the D.J.P.P. Other than that I'm happy with the out come AFTER Mr. Howell and Chris James took over the service of my vehicle and of the relationship I've had in the past with Mr. Howell. Dropped vehicle off for service: 1. 2/14-3/19 not fixed (DJPP still had it) 2. 3/24-3/31 not fixed (DJPP still had it) 3. 4/1-5/5 Chris James and Mr. Howell did what (DJPP) could not do! I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE CENTER AFTER SOME CHANGES AT MANAGEMENT. In closing I give Austin Howell and Chris James 5 STARS and the DJPP, It's not worth my time.... Thank You Dan C. Ford Owner Since 1984 More
